Wikipedia article




'For the Crown and the Dragon' is a novel by Stephen Hunt published by Green Nebula in 1994.

Plot summary



'For the Crown and the Dragon' is an 18th-century story where Britain is split into three islands held together by a cold-hearted and isolationist regime, while the rest of Europe is divided into a patchwork of warring city states.

Reception



Gordon Kibblewhite reviewed 'For the Crown and the Dragon' for 'Arcane' magazine, rating it a 7 out of 10 overall. Kibblewhite comments that "the tale is stranger and more cynical than a mere Sherwood Forest chestnut, and the raft of great characters have a black sense of humour to match. The battles are likewise well done, so that we are soon spattered not only with blood and gore, but with dirt, filth, ran and brine as well."
